Teddy O Neill
Intro: G E7 A7 D7 G
I've seen the old cabin he danced his wild jigs in, as neat a mud cabin as ever was seen
Considerin' t'was used to keep poultry and pigs in, I'm sure it was always kept elegant clean
But now all around seems so sad and so dreary, all dark and all silent, no piper, no reel
Not even the sun through the casement shines cheery since I lost my darlin' boy Teddy O Neill
I dreamt but last night (oh bad luck to my dreamin') I'd die if I thought 'twould come surely to pass
But I dreamt while the tears down my pillow were streaming that Teddy was courtin' another fair lass
Och! Did I not wake with a weeping and wailing the grief of that thought was too deep to conceal
My mother cried, "Nora child, what is your ailing?" And all I could mutter was Teddy O Neill
Shall I ever forget when the big ship was ready the moment had come when my love must depart
How I sobbed like a spalpeen "Goodbye to you Teddy" with tears on my cheek and a stone in my heart
He says 'tis to better his fortune he's roving but what would be gold to the joy I would feel
If I saw him come back to me honest and loving still poor but my darling boy Teddy O Neill
(SLOW) Still poor but my darling boy Teddy O Neill
